IF NO ONE COULD SEE
How would it be, what are your thoughts if no one could see,
Lights are on, the nights are dark, what’s the difference without sight.
There would be no color except that of black, Imagination was all you had,
How could you be a racist if your eyes were always closed, who would know?
If no one could see would the world be a better place for all to be,
We could learn to walk in peace, we would never have had to read.
We could speak and have much still to complain about,
We would not see what horror lives beyond our reach.
If no one could see then the beauty that lives would be a mystery,
There are several thoughts to these questions that I seek, tell me what you believe.

Deep thoughts but there are people who act unseeing even when they see. Lovely composition.
So many can’t see what’s in front of them.

Who are we when no is looking?
I think we are us, we don’t need to pretend or be someone else when we are alone.

I’ve long held the notion that being blind would make us have to judge others purely on their behavior. Also, the clothes and make-up industry would be rather non-existent. And sadly, the beauty of visual expression wouldn’t exist either.
Thanks for your thoughts

Have you ever heard that in a country of blind people, a one-eyed man is king? I can’t conceive of all being blind. You raise a very deep subject.
Thanks for reading and for your thoughts
